A) because the vast majority of users don't have the slightest idea of what
a regular expression is
B) because it would require a 3rd party library (or very much work) to
create a BASE compilant client on the biggest target platform, i e it's not
part of the C standard library
C) because they are slower (indexed searches become tricky for instance)
D) because if there's demand for it, it's very, very easy to add to the
protocol and mandate by the hub (using sup)
E) I can go on...

Why is there no regexp search? It could use the signal RX and it could limit the search
after the other three types are complete.
